Is there a big difference between the flavor of Carafa and Carafa Special? Also, what would be a good substitution for Caramunich II? Caramel/Crystal-60L?

To develop color without adding roasty flavors, a little debittered black malt does the trick. My preference is for Weyermann Carafa Special, a huskless roasted malt. The lack of a husk means far less bitter roasted flavors."
Yes to both questions.
Per Jamil in his article on Roggenbier...

He says that the regular Carafa has "a lot more roasted character"
The crystal malt may be a bit more caramel-ly, but will be a good sub.
Cheers.
